This takes the gear ratio from 32:18 (1.778:1) to 32:16 (2:1), which should be nice for flatter single track stuff where I&#8217;d end up practically spinning out. Hill climbs may be difficult, but hopefully I&#8217;ll still be able to make it. If I can&#8217;t I guess I can just go back to the 18T.<\/p>\n<p>Since a threaded rear hub is required to use a freewheel like this, I&#8217;m tempted to get a track cog and lockring to try it as a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fixed-gear_bicycle\">fixed-gear<\/a> mountain bike. This could go very, very wrong, though.<\/p>\n<p>While fitting the freewheel I ended up cleaning up the drivetrain, washing the chain in solvent and then re-lubricating it. After the winter riding it was pretty grimy and needed a bit of work. After cleaning it up I tried out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parktool.com\/products\/detail.asp?cat=5&#038;item=CC-3\">Park Tool CC-3<\/a> which, <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/bike_stuff\/IMG_3465.jpg.html\">as can be seen here<\/a>, nestles into the chain to show if it is beyond 0.75% or 1% stretched. As the 0.75% side didn&#8217;t fit into the chain, it&#8217;s just fine to continue using.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I finally got around to installing the Shimano SF-MX30 16T freewheel on the Bianchi D.I.S.S., replacing the 18T that was there.
